CyHi The Prynce Is Kanye West's 'Ally'
'I can't really speak on Consequence, 'cause I don't know the agreements they had,' CyHi tells 'RapFix Live.'

There has been a bit of dissention in Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music camp, but CyHi The Prynce won't involve himself in any of it. Instead, the self-proclaimed self-reliant Atlanta MC chooses to work on building his career up as much as he can, himself.
In May, former G.O.O.D. rapper Consequence sat on the "RapFix Live" couch to air some grievances with his onetime friend Kanye West. At the root of Cons' issue seemed to be his omissions from an XXL magazine photo shoot and BET taping, as well as the delay in the release of his sophomore album, Cons TV. When Sway asked Cons if his angst spread to any of the other artists on G.O.O.D.. he coyly said, "Wait till M.O.D. 3," plugging his still-unreleased mixtape Movies on Demand 3.
"I can't really speak on Consequence, 'cause I don't know the agreements they had," CyHi said on Wednesday's "RapFix Live." "They had their relationship before I came along, so I don't have no problem with him. That's my guy."
While Cy distanced himself from the rift between 'Ye and Cons, he did speak on his own situation, letting it be known that he does not feel as if Kanye owes him anything beyond what he has already given.
"I say 'Ye don't have to do nothing else for me. He didn't even have to put me on the album; he could've just said, 'Yo he's dope,' like he did on his blog, and I was gonna run with that," CyHi said before revealing the surprising circumstances in which he got signed at a 2010 magazine cover shoot. "I didn't know he was gonna sign me. I got surprised with the signing at the XXL shoot. I was just rappin'."
Every relationship has the potential to sour, and the Prynce, who is just beginning work on his debut album, The Hard Way Musical, is grateful for Kanye's assist but says he isn't reliant on it. "God forbid anything happen to [Kanye] and he's not going to be able to do that no more, then where are we gonna go after that?" he questioned. "So I try to build my own foundation and let him know I'm not just an artist of his; I'm an ally."

Mozilla publishes name and shame list of slow Firefox add-ons, cracks down on tardy devs
The list is just one part of Mozilla's new efforts to highlight slow add-ons, and to help developers make their add-ons more efficient. Over the next two weeks, 'slow performance warnings' will be introduced in the add-on gallery so that users can see, before installation, which add-ons will slow down their browser. If that isn't enough to spur developers into cleaning up their add-ons, Mozilla has also begun reaching out to developers of slow add-ons with tips on how to improve add-on performance. Finally, add-on developers will soon have the ability to perform 'on-demand performance testing,' so that they can test their add-on before it's deployed publicly.
Mozilla reports that the average Firefox add-on slows down Firefox's start-up time by 10% -- which means, if you install 10 add-ons, you will double your start-up time. On fast desktop PCs that kind of slowdown might be negligible, but on older computers, laptops and smartphones, it could be the difference between a 5 and 10 second startup. Mozilla has obviously realized that while massive performance gains might've been made with Firefox 4, the addition of third-party add-ons can destroy any user-perceived improvements.
In other news, Mozilla says that a future build of Firefox will block the installation of add-ons (such as toolbars) by third-party software. Add-ons and toolbars that are bundled in this way will require explicit approval when you next open up Firefox. Hooray!

Amazon Appstore for Android Test Drive hands on: surprisingly cool, but still US-only
Before you get your hopes up, Test Drive doesn't work with every app. The IMDb app works fine -- you can even watch movie trailers on it! -- but the Angry Birds games are sadly not enabled. Some games work surprisingly well, though, like Bubble Buster. There's very little latency, and the framerate is really rather good. The Test Drive experience is so true to life that you even get ads; how cool is that?

First Firefox 6 build next week, Firefox 7 by May, and aurora channel introduced
Along with the faster 6-week release cadence, Firefox's new Chrome-like release channels have also been given names and anticipated update frequencies. The most notable change is the introduction of a new alpha channel -- which is analogous to Chrome Canary -- that will be called 'aurora' and will update nightly. Aurora will be where fixes and features are tested, and either approved for Beta, or backed out to Central. Aurora will have a new icon, too.
The Nightly (mozilla-central) channel will remain unchanged in name and frequency, but it will gain a new 'nightly icon.' The Beta (mozilla-beta) channel will remain as-is, with new builds rolling out weekly. The Release (mozilla-release) channel will also remain as-is, with security and stability updates coming every 6 to 12 weeks.
It should be noted that the names (including 'aurora') are not necessarily final, but it's unlikely that they'll change. We're also awaiting the arrival of the new 'channel switching' technology, which should arrive in the next few days -- in time for the release of Firefox 6 aurora!

Mac OS X Lion Preview 2 released, introduces mega exciting leather bound iCal skin
There has been some speculation that Apple is getting close to a release or Golden Master build, but judging by 9to5 Mac's initial findings there's definitely some way to go. The Golden Master will probably appear at, or just before, the Apple WWDC in June.
So far, it's looking like the only changes in Preview 2 are the leather bound iCal skin that you can see above, and the main iChat window now combines your AIM, Bonjour and Jabber contacts, like Adium. We're sure that more details will emerge throughout the day, though, and there's bound to be lots of invisible changes, too. We'll update this post when we find out more.

Bruno Mars, B.o.B, Janelle Monae Turn In Throwback Grammy Set
Pompadour-sporting stars rock medley of 'Grenade,' 'Nothin' on You' and 'Cold War.'

Bruno Mars headed into Grammy night on top, with seven nominations under his belt for his singing and songwriting efforts. He has already scored snaps for his studio work, but on Sunday night, the 25-year-old Doo-Wops & Hooligans crooner showcased his stage skills with fellow promising genre-bending stars B.o.B and Janelle Monáe.
Following a string intro, Mars helmed the keys and gently crooned a softer version of his #1 smash with B.o.B, "Nothin' on You." The ATL hitmaker then took the mic, rocking a dapper old-school look and adding a scholarly touch with a monocle as he sang and rhymed the lyrics. Monáe kept the menswear theme going in a voluminous cape, quietly chiming in at a clear podium as B.o.B turned to croon to her.
Check out pictures from the Grammy show here.
Suddenly, a faux mid-century black-and-white broadcast introducing Mars took over the screen, and then the live telecast switched to a retro two-tone look. Mars looked perfectly in place as he belted a slowed-down yet soul-injected version of his own #1 single "Grenade," with B.o.B on the piano. A crew of background singers helped transform the pop hit into a doo-wop effort, complete with a few stuttering dance steps; Mars even got on his knees during the bluesy arrangement in a move that would have made legendary funkateer James Brown proud.
Then Monáe stepped up for her ArchAndroid cut "Cold War" in her trademark button-down shirt-and-slacks outfit. Mars hopped on the drums as the lights flashed, fog rolled in and Monáe added her own vocal pyrotechnics to the mix. The songstress then took the performance from retro to rowdy by sailing into the audience for a brief crowd-surf as B.o.B strummed away on the guitar. The upstart trio's upbeat set scored a standing ovation.
Last year, Mars was floored when he first heard he'd racked up seven nods, but added that scoring accolades isn't even his favorite part of his hitmaking gig.
"The funnest part of our job is that we don't know who we're working with next," Mars told MTV News in December about working his songwriting and production crew the Smeezingtons. "We're fans and students of music, and we just love to work with whoever wants to work, whoever wants to write a song. Rock, hip-hop, R&B — we just want to do music. And we're happy just doing that."

A sneak peek at the next version of Android Market and Music app
Update: Tech From 10 seems to be offline -- but we have lots of images and a hands-on review if you want to see what the new Music app is like.In what is probably a bit of a big-G whoopsie, the folks at Tech From 10 woke up to find a new, test version of Android Market installed on their Galaxy S.
Visually, the new version is almost identical. The carousel of featured apps has been updated slightly, and apps now have a 'Content rating,' but that's it (image after the break). The interesting bit, however, is the inclusion of alpha and beta apps -- most notably, there's a new version of the Music app, which looks like a scaled-down version of the Android 3.0 Honeycomb Music app (see right).
Also available from the test Android Market is 'Google Gallery 3D New 10.2', 'Google - Camera v12' and 'Google Desk Clock 10' -- but, curiously, all of the apps refused to launch on Tech From 10's Galaxy S (Vibrant) smartphone. Are they Honeycomb apps? Or, more likely, are they destined for the next Android smartphone OS, Ice Cream?
If you want to try out the new Honeycombish Music app, Tech From 10 has made the APK available for download. You can also download the three Google apps, if you want to have a poke around.

Eminem's 'Space Bound' Video Is 'Tricky,' Jim Jonsin Says
'It reminded me of Alanis Morissette's 'Ironic' video, where she's got her and her two other egos in the car,' song's producer tells MTV News.

Everyone seems to have their own take on Eminem's new "Space Bound" video, in which the Detroit MC commits suicide after finding out that his girlfriend is cheating on him. The song's producer, Jim Jonsin, likened the clip to a movie, and while the video is indeed shocking, he believes Eminem is clearly playing a character.
"Things happen in movies all the time. People kill themselves, people get killed, they kill other people," the multiplatinum producer explained to MTV News on Monday. "When my kids watch it, I like to explain to them in that manner: 'It's like a movie, ya know? He isn't really killing himself.' "
Jonsin, who was on set when the Joseph Kahn-directed vid was shot in February, suggested that viewers watch the clip a few times to figure out the plot and then draw their own conclusion.
"The video itself, it's tricky to figure out what's going on in certain scenes," he said. "It's going to take them a moment to figure out why he did it. It's not exactly spelled out, like, 'I killed myself because this girl drove me to it or she's cheating on me or she's texting some other dude,' or whatever it might be. So you're still guessing a little bit."
Another element of the video that can be interpreted in a few ways is the two different versions of Eminem that appear onscreen simultaneously. Sasha Grey, who plays the rapper's girlfriend in "Space Bound," sees one of the two Shadys as Em's subconscious. Jonsin had a similar take and compared the visual to Alanis Morissette's 1996 video for her hit single "Ironic."
"It reminded me of Alanis Morissette's 'Ironic' video, where she's got her and her two other egos in the car," he said, before turning the conversation back to Em. "I think it was him living in the now as a person going through it and him living as a person who is witnessing it and can make other choices to not be in that scenario. Maybe he would've chose differently, so now he's watching himself."
How did you interpret Em's video? Let us know in the comments below!

Lady Gaga Calls Japan Bracelet Lawsuit 'Misguided'
Suit claiming singer profited from inflated shipping and sales tax is 'without merit,' rep says.
By Gil Kaufman

Just days after a Michigan-based law firm filed suit against Lady Gaga over claims that the singer's charity overcharged fans for the shipping costs of her Japan-boosting bracelets and made money on the earthquake relief effort, a spokesperson for Mother Monster said the legal action was "misguided."
The suit from 1-800-LAW-FIRM alleges that the $5 bracelets — which Gaga rushed out shortly after the devastating March earthquake and tsunami — had an unnecessary $3.99 shipping cost and sales tax added on and that Gaga made money on them after promising that all proceeds would go to benefit disaster victims.
"I Designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet. Buy It/Donate here and ALL proceeds will go to Tsunami Relief Efforts. Go Monsters," Gaga tweeted on the day the earthquake struck.
According to E! Online, Gaga's publicist issued a statement on Tuesday responding to the claims.
"This misguided lawsuit is without merit and unfortunately takes attention away from the kind deeds of the fans around the world who are supporting the people of Japan," read the statement, which was issued days after Gaga performed in MTV Japan's concert to raise funds for earthquake relief. "The entire $5 donation made with the purchase of each bracelet is going to support the disaster relief. No profit is being made on shipping costs. Sales tax charges were made in accordance with local legal requirements. Lady Gaga has personally pledged her own funds to this cause and continues to support the victims of the disaster."
By the end of March, Gaga — who unveiled her new panda-inspired look while visiting Japan this week — announced that she had donated more than $1.5 million from the sale of the bracelets to video game maker Zynga's relief effort fund.
The lawsuit is seeking class-action status and possible refunds for fans who bought the bracelets.

Google's Blogger platform adds five new HTML5 Dynamic Views
The five new views provide fresh and interesting ways to explore your favorite Blogger blogs. The Mosaic view, for example, creates a wall of thumbnails -- click one, and it zooms to fill the screen; click it again and it minimizes. Flipcard is similar to Mosaic, but not quite as eclectic. Sidebar, Timeslide and Snapshot round off the new views, with each one obviously targeted at different types of content, from photo blogs, to text-only philosophy blogs, and everything in between.
For now, you have to visit a Blogger blog and add /view to the URL to enable the new Dynamic Views. If you own a Blogger blog, you can disable the new views -- and really, why weren't they disabled by default?
If feedback is positive -- which we're sure it will be -- these Dynamic Views will soon be enabled by default. You'll also be able to edit the views in much the same way as current Blogger templates.

Opera 11.10 includes improved power saving features
The timing here is certainly interesting, what with Microsoft's recent report on how much power the top five Web browsers consume. In its findings, Opera 11 was fairly low in the standings. While we've not seen any new benchmarks yet, we're curious to know whether the Opera 11.10 RC offers any significant gains.
If you're running Opera 11.10 on a laptop, let us know if you're seeing an improvement in your battery life while browsing!

IE9 and Firefox 4 post top marks in Web browser power use comparison
A baseline was determined with test systems sitting idle, and then browsers were pointed at about:blank, a news site, the HTML5 Galactic demo, and the IE9 fish tank demo. Perhaps unsurprisingly, IE9 came out on top -- though Firefox 4 was a very close second on nearly every test. As you can see, the other browsers didn't necessarily fare quite as well, with Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera all posting significantly worse scores. In Opera 11's case, a laptop battery would last over one hour more with Internet Explorer 9 installed.
But what we'd really like to know is where did Microsoft find the dilithium crystals required to run a Galactic Total Power Consumption test...

Snooki's Best Grammy Red-Carpet Moments, From Nicki Minaj To J.Lo
'Jersey Shore' starlet flirts with Bruno Mars, gets personal with Drake and talks juiceheads with Matthew Morrison.
By Kara Warner
Snooki and Nicki Minaj

As any fan of "Jersey Shore" can attest, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is a walking highlight reel. The words and quotes that emit from the pint-size, pouf-wearing, self-proclaimed guidette are so unpredictable and entertaining, who else would we enlist to co-host our Grammy red-carpet live stream?
Lucky for MTV News and all our viewers, Snooki did not disappoint. From philosophizing about Gaga's arrival in an egg to bonding with Drake's mom and talking hair poufs with Nicki Minaj, our "Jersey Shore" girl did us proud.
Here are a few more of Snooki's highlights. First, there was a flirty encounter with Bruno Mars.
"Oh yeah that's hot, I love it," Snooki told Mars, after he demonstrated some fist-pumping dance moves. "You look good tonight, I'm just sayin'."
"Hit me up when the cameras aren't on, you know what I'm saying?" Mars said. "You and me could just kick it."
Snooki's response? A surprised/indecisive "Meep."
Next up, there was Gaga's entrance. "Is that an egg?" she asked co-host Sway Calloway and then waved and shouted out, "Gaga, I love you!" as the egg passed by.
"Sway is actually a gorilla juicehead," Snooki told "Glee" star Matthew Morrison, while explaining the finer points of "GTL" and the guido lifestyle.
"A 'G.A.H.,' " an amused Morrison added about Sway. "A 'Guido at Heart.' "
In addition to naming names, categorizing people and making plans with her interviewees, Snooki also managed to "go there," in terms of asking very pointed — and sometimes very personal — questions. Her chat with superstar Drake and his mom was a prime example.
"Did you and Rihanna smush?" she asked Drake of his past romantic encounters with his "What's My Name" co-star.
"Oh, goodness," a dumbstruck Drake responded. "Ah ... this is just, ah ... " he trailed off.
"Let's snog," Jay Sean offered (a British slang term for make out or kiss).
"Snug?" Snooki asked.
"No, snog. S-N-O-G," Sean explained, even though it was clear Snooki didn't know what he was talking about.
"Snug?" she asked again. "Does that mean smush?"
Another doozy occurred with Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony. "You're f---ing hot in person," she told J.Lo.
And finally, a sweet little encounter with Nicki Minaj.
"Is this your real hair?" Snooki asked while reaching up to touch Minaj's "Bride of Frankenstein"-inspired look.
"Snooks," Minaj responded, sounding mildly offended. "What do you mean, 'Is this my real hair?' "
"I'm jealous," Snooki answered.
"Oh. I wanted you to wear your pouf today so we could be matching," Minaj said.
"I did," Snooki said. "But it deflated from the heat."
What was your favorite Snooki moment? Tell us in the comments!

Eminem Co-Star Sasha Grey Interprets Suicidal 'Space Bound' Video
'Even the strongest of love meets destruction at some point,' the ex-porn star tells MTV News.
By Rob Markman
Sasha Grey on the set of Eminem's "Space Bound" video
Photo: Eric Ford/On Location News
There have been quite a few takes on the meaning of Eminem's "Space Bound" video, in which we see two sides of a suicidal, love-torn rapper. Since the clip hit iTunes on Friday, fans have taken to comment sections dishing out theories about its meaning. Some have said this is another depiction of Em's relationship with ex-wife Kim Mathers, while others likened the clip to a video game. And Eminem's co-star in the video, Sasha Grey, has her own take on the video.
Grey, a former adult-film star, is now expanding her acting chops. She appeared, as did Em, on the seventh season of HBO's hit series "Entourage," and though the two never met on set, she got the offer to star in "Space Bound" at the request of the video's director, Joseph Kahn.
The clip features alternate versions of the Detroit MC, one agitated and cynical in the company of his girlfriend (played by Grey), the other more pensive and calm. "You can read into it a few different ways, but I imagine one character is actually him, and the other is his subconscious," Grey said.
Things begin to take a turn for the worse when the rapper discovers the love of his life is cheating on him. He later attacks her, then turns a gun on himself and commits suicide with a single shot through the head. "Space Bound," like "Love the Way You Lie," depicts a tumultuous relationship in which domestic violence once again is a topic. "Em simply becomes company for her, and she mistakenly takes advantage of that," Grey says of her character. "Before each take, Joseph and I would talk a lot about her motives and attitude. Her ultimate moment doesn't come until the end, so I had plenty of time to build the fear!"
Grey doesn't have a clear-cut explanation of the video, but she ultimately sees "Space Bound" from a pessimistic view — hopeless romantics take heed. "I don't know if it necessarily has a thorough message, but I think it shows that even the strongest of love meets destruction at some point," the ex-porn star told MTV News. "Whether or not you come out of it together and whole is an entirely different question."

Classic Shell now makes Internet Explorer 9 look like IE8
We've covered Classic Shell before, but here's the crib note: Classic Shell restores almost every Windows XP-era Explorer feature. The best change, in our opinion, is the reemergence of the 'up' arrow, meaning you now navigate without using the Windows Vista/7 'breadcrumbs' address bar. The status bar yet again shows the total size of your selection, and -- praise be! -- the diabolical Windows 7 Copy File 'copy and replace?' dialog has been replaced with a Windows XP lookalike (image after the break).
New to the most recent version of Classic Shell is the ability to make IE9 look like IE8. With Classic Shell the title bar yet again has a caption, so you can see the full title of Web pages. The current security zone and loading progress indicator have been put back into the status bar, too. If you enable 'Show tabs on a separate row,' it's almost like using IE8.
Finally, Classic Shell replaces the omnipotent Windows 7 Start Menu with the age-old 'classic' Windows 2000/XP-style Start Menu. Classic Shell makes the Start Menu skinable, too, if you're into the kind of thing.
As awesome as it sounds, we've only touched on a small section of Classic Shell's feature set. Check the Classic Shell site for a complete list. There's a few more images of Classic Shell in action after the break.

London's E-Health Cloud program will send patient records to the stratosphere next month
You'd think that the recent spate of high-profile cyberattacks would've deterred the healthcare industry from sending patient records to the cloud -- but you'd be wrong. Beginning next month, all data on patients at London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital will be stored in a centralized database, accessible from any computer, smartphone or tablet. Under the National Health Service's pilot program, known as E-Health Cloud, patients will be able to decide which doctors, nurses or family members can view their records, allowing them to easily share their data with other specialists. Flexiant, the Scottish software company that developed the platform, hopes to eventually expand it to other treatment phases, including assisted living, and insists that its system will help the NHS save money in the long-term. Security, however, will likely prove critical to the program's success.

IE9 and Firefox 4 post top marks in Web browser power use comparison
A baseline was determined with test systems sitting idle, and then browsers were pointed at about:blank, a news site, the HTML5 Galactic demo, and the IE9 fish tank demo. Perhaps unsurprisingly, IE9 came out on top -- though Firefox 4 was a very close second on nearly every test. As you can see, the other browsers didn't necessarily fare quite as well, with Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera all posting significantly worse scores. In Opera 11's case, a laptop battery would last over one hour more with Internet Explorer 9 installed.
But what we'd really like to know is where did Microsoft find the dilithium crystals required to run a Galactic Total Power Consumption test...

Facebook launches unified mobile site, announces 250 million mobile users
Facebook has announced that its two mobile sites -- m.facebook.com and touch.facebook.com -- have been unified, bringing a simpler mobile experience to Facebook users. And there are a lot of those -- a quarter billion, according to Facebook.Smartphone users won't be losing any functionality because of the consolidation. If your phone supported the enhacned features offered by touch.facebook.com, the new site will automatically flip the switch when you visit.
Rolling the sites together helps simplify things for Facebook's developer team. Now changes can be pushed to a single site instead of two separate sites, which makes it easier to ensure that all mobile users receive a nearly identical experience regardless of the device they're using.
The new Facebook mobile can also check to see if your phone supports geolocation. If it doesn't, you won't be seeing much of Facebook Places -- which obviously relies heavily on geolocation. Images can also be optimized on the fly to keep page performance from suffering on less powerful devices. You can see the three different versions of the share button below, courtesy our friends at TechCrunch.

Bruno Mars and Janelle Monáe took it old-school at the Grammys on Sunday night, and judging from the poster for their just-announced North American co-headlining tour, the pair plan to offer up plenty more retro-soul goodness when they hit the road beginning in May.
The poster for the Hooligans in Wondaland Tour looks like an old paste-up for a James Brown-era all-star show at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, in keeping with both artists' back to the future vibe. Joining them on the trek will be British singer/ rapper Plan B and blue-eyed retro-soul singer Mayer Hawthorne. The two-month outing is slated to kick off on May 4 with a show at New York's Roseland Ballroom and wind up on June 15 at Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
Mars won the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance award at the Grammys on Sunday night for his breakthrough hit "Just the Way You Are." The pair earned a standing ovation at the end of their set, which included Mars' doo-wop remix of "Grenade" and Monáe's crowd-surfing run through her "Cold War."
According to Billboard, Mars is in Los Angeles working on the video for "The Lazy Song," the next single from his smash debut, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. He'll hang around for a bit to perform on the pregame show at Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game.
Fans can get information on presale tickets — including bundles that include meet-and-greets with Mars and/or Monáe and early entry to the venue — beginning on Wednesday (February 16) at BrunoMars.com. General-public tickets will go on sale beginning February 26.
